Answer 3

The phone is not suitable for the role of an arduino or a raspberry.

Answer 5

Telephone hardware is of little use except for telephony due to the scarcity of physical interfaces. Support for built-in NAND Flash is usually implemented in the form of a blob, there is no open driver in 90% of cases, so when trying to pile up Linux, you have to keep everything on the card. What remains is WiFi, BT, not very high-quality sound, and optionally a flash drive via USB-OTG, which is unreliable for long-term operation.
Therefore, Tor / i2p / DNSCrypt seems to be a rational option, and all this will hang on WiFi. For everything else that is in principle possible with the help of these interfaces, the usual Malinka is better.
PS It's better to ruin an old Chinese arm-smartbook, at least there is an ethernet and a full-fledged USB-host, not to mention the keyboard;)
